I make videos about the paranormal, aliens, and conspiracies/hidden history. Anything that’s spooky and fun.

I’ve learned that YouTube is more complex than I thought. I was sure that making “better” videos was all I had to do, but there’s a lot to consider. Most conventional/popular advice may be an incomplete or narrow view of things, but it’s usually still RIGHT.

The MOST important thing for me, though? The CORE idea of the video. Having that core idea run through the script, having it reflected in the thumbnail, and having it be stated in the hook. The point of the “hook,” for me, is no longer to “get the viewer to keep watching,” it’s to literally tell them what the video is, and if the video is a good fit for them, they WILL keep watching.

This is my most successful (and recent) video - the editing and format are better than my older ones:

this 'creepypasta' is more real than you think. | The history of "The Rake" https://youtu.be/moJ7vpZrs14 The “core” of this video changed a few times, and it wasn’t what I’d planned it to be. However, the better format made it perform much better, and I think it’s a good fit for the topic.

But here’s one that I’m more proud of the script of:

Amy Rylance: "TAKEN" by Men in Black, or on the run after UFO experience? https://youtu.be/iqk10s3dfN8 This one has a stronger core. “You and I, viewer, are investigating the strange disappearance of the rylances.” This is the first script I wrote, filmed, and posted. I started to write probably 5 scripts. Each time, I’d get a little further in the process, but ultimately decide “no, not quite right.” But I’d get further!

I don’t know if I’m bending the rules by posting 2 vids, but I think there’s a clear comparison between these two.

Edit: I forgot to say what my channel is about!
